“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Conversation with Olafur Eliasson
I've been a huge fan of his work for at least the last decade. He called me yesterday to talk about speech as a physical entity--a concept with which I totally agree. He asked very, very accurate questions, which were great to answer. We do indeed, as I'd suspected for quite some time, share an awful lot of common ground.
This conversation and others will be part of There Is No Outside, happening in Denmark at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
